This article covers some of the best practices I have come across in my experience as a second language instructor: Using the target language in the classroom, understanding students' learning style and adopting teaching accordingly, using natural language, using technology, activating prior knowledge with English language learning, encouraging students to adopt a hands-on approach to language learning, etc.

Teachers are to be adaptable continuously to the best teaching practices to meet the changing demands of learners. Since language teaching practice is cyclic and self-reflective, teachers have to practice and improve by adding new practices and eliminating not-so-promising practices. The routine classroom learning is not much appreciated. Students would like to have some innovatory practices. Using the target language as much as possible in the classroom is recommended. Students have to be provided with exposure to the target language. Learning situations in the classroom act as model situations that give consolidated and continuous practice. Students need continuous practice and exposure to the target language. Technology provides varied natural learning environments along with the culture to learners. Teachers have to provide suitable environments and also adapt to the learners' level, style and demands. Learner motivation can be activated by rewarding students. Since grammar is the backbone of language, building students' grammar is essential teaching practice. Student’s prior knowledge can be expanded by revising and rebuilding vocabulary and grammar for the reinforcement of learned skills.
